Phoenix Jones, Seattle’s ‘Real-Life Superhero,’ in a Little Hot Water

No, it’s not exactly law-related, but it’s the week’s most buzz-worthy development and we’re going to weigh in.

The news spread faster than, well, a speeding bullet: Phoenix Jones, the leader of the Rain City Superhero Movement, based in Seattle, was arrested early Sunday on a fourth-degree assault charge after he allegedly launched pepper-spray into a group of people.

According to this Seattle Times article, Jones, who patrols the streets of Seattle fighting crime in full superhero garb, spent several hours in the King County Jail before posting $3,800 bail Sunday afternoon.
